Windows File Description

Targets Windows
1

is it possible to set the windows file description in the app.open event?

2

you mean version information of exe file?

You can set that with a build script step, I think.

You can manage file attributes on Windows with declares. See here for more information.

What exactly do you mean by a windows file description?

under the build settings for windows, there is a place to populate the File Description which could be displayed in the windows task manager. I am wondering if this could be populated in the app.open event or if its baked in to the app when complied.

here is how it looks like windows task manager:

It’s baked in. You would have to modify the executable file/manifest. It would be best to use IDEScript if you need to set it dynamically at build time.

Thank you Tim and others for the recommendations.

I am going to look into IDE Scripts as suggested.
